Hotel Belén

Catamarca & La Rioja


A surprising presence in town, this stylish hotel has dark, comfortable rooms featuring exposed rock bathrooms, indigenous art and an archaeological collection in the lobby. If you can ignore a few creaks and quirks – sound travels way too easily between bathrooms, service is patchy and not everything works all the time – it’s a fun stay at a decent price.
